Do You Still Use An Antiperspirant?
A review of the common sources of aluminum
for humans found that antiperspirant use can
significantly increase the amount of aluminum
absorbed by the body. According to the review,
after a single underarm application of
antiperspirant, about .012 percent of the
aluminum may be absorbed.
Other concerning sources of aluminum to
humans are food, drinking water, contaminated
air, and industrial and medicinal, such as
vaccines, exposure.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
The aluminum that is absorbed by your body
from a typical antiperspirant adds up over time,
and that aluminum can and does go straight to
your brain where it can play havoc, as aluminum
has been widely associated with Alzheimer's
disease.
Personally, I stopped using antiperspirant
nearly 20 years ago. All I do is use simple soap
and water, and it works splendidly.
Interestingly, those stains that occurred on my
shirts stopped on all my new shirts as it was
due to an interaction with the antiperspirant
and my sweat, not the sweat alone.
Deodorants aren't as bad, but I would also
avoid using them unless it was made from some
form of baking soda.
I posted an article recently, which showed
that there will be 16 million with Alzheimer's
by the time many of you who are reading this
will be elderly (2050). Fortunately, there are
simple things you can do to prevent Alzheimer's.
Exercise is a very potent way to ward off
Alzheimer's.
Previous research showed, the odds of
developing Alzheimer's were nearly quadrupled in
people who were less active during their leisure
time, between the ages of 20 and 60, compared
with their peers. That is one of the reasons why
I have been exercising for the last 34 years
and, God willing, hope to continue for another
50.
Getting the mercury amalgams out of your teeth
is another effective strategy to avoiding
Alzheimer's, along with avoiding aluminum--these
are the classic recommendations.
Following
The No-Grain Diet and eating plenty of
fresh vegetables with high folate levels are
other practical strategies.
In other words, the key to the treatment
of Alzheimer's is to make sure you never get it.
So just how do you prevent Alzheimer's?
- Avoid and
remove mercury from you body
- Avoid aluminum,
such as in antiperspirants, cookware, etc.
- Exercise for
three to five hours per week
- Eat 15 to 20
pounds of vegetables per week
- Avoid flu
vaccinations
